Anthony Fauci

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki continued on Friday afternoon to show an aversion to discussing the thousands of published e-mails from Dr. Tony Fauci, repeatedly declining to elaborate on them during Friday’s press briefing. Speaking to Fox’s Peter Doocy, Psaki insisted that, while Fauci can speak for himself, the Biden administration “wouldn’t stand by” while “attacks” are “launched”…

While NBC’s Today show on Friday finally discovered the controversy swirling around Dr. Anthony Fauci’s emails from the early days of the pandemic in which he and his colleagues dismissed the possibility of COVID-19 leaking from a Wuhan lab in China, the broadcast touted his defense that the exchanges were “ripe for being taken out of context.” The network worried that Fauci was “under fire…

Happy Friday NewsBusters readers! Today’s edition of the NewsBusters podcasts holds a special treat for listeners. With executive editor Tim Graham away on a well-deserved summer vacation, the NewsBusters night crew has been left in charge! That’s right, managing editor Curtis Houck and I will be manning the helm for the next couple of weeks.

Dr. Anthony Fauci is under renewed scrutiny after a Freedom of Information Act released thousands of his emails from the early days of the pandemic, raising questions about Fauci’s cozy relationship with China and conflicting messaging on masks, among other controversies. But Fauci’s friends at The View refused to criticize the public figure, and attacked Republicans, instead.

You don't see that too often. Someone actually demanded answers from Anthony Fauci. The doctor joined the hosts of Morning Joe to discuss the emails that were leaked yesterday. To say he dodged these questions is an understatement.

On Wednesday night, NewsNation fill-in host and former Fox News correspondent Leland Vittert did what few national news outlets have done in subjecting the NIH’s Dr. Tony Fauci to a challenging interview. In this case, he focused on this week’s dump of thousands of Fauci e-mails from the early days of the coronavirus pandemic that showed a woeful lack of judgement, distrust of masks, and an…

Thanks to the use of the Freedom of Information Act, the American people gained access this week to thousands of Dr. Anthony Fauci’s e-mails and revelations that he knew the National Institutes of Health may have funded gain-of-function research for coronaviruses, that COVID-19 may have come from a lab, and that masks didn’t work. And in an attempt to cover up the truth, ABC’s World News…

Chris Cillizza mocked Trump for being "crushed" by Dr. Anthony Fauci over the Wuhan lab leak theory yet now has to explain why Fauci is now "hedging" due to the increasing likelihood that Trump was right.

See if you can wrap your head around this one: The media, who instantly dismissed the COVID-19 lab leak theory as a “conspiracy” when President Trump was in office touting it, now are suddenly parroting this same theory as plausible, with President Biden in office. Yet they are still blaming the former administration for “politicizing” the intelligence findings.

To the growing list of banned topics on Chinese Communist run TikTok, we can now add satirical impressions of Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Like they were fighting a nicotine addiction, NBC Nightly News just didn’t want to give up wearing the masks. Last year, NewsBusters documented NBC’s “despair porn” cycle where the network would cheer on crippling lockdowns then mourn for the devastation they wrought. Well, it was a new version of that concept on Thursday as the network tried to spread fear of the CDC’s new no masks for the…

CNN political analyst appeared to cause discomfort to the Newsroom anchors when he talked about problems with the Wuhan lab and Dr. Anthony Fauci's role in it.

MSNBC is hosting a "Vaccinating America" coronavirus special in the Lawrence O'Donnell hour tonight. O'Donnell will interview the president, followed by a town hall with Dr. Anthony Fauci and Surgeon General Vivek Murthy.  Politico Playbook reports they committed a "journalistic no-no" in offering to pay for an audience (like he can't draw one?)

New York Times reporter turned columnist Frank Bruni celebrated Dr. Anthony Fauci, infectious disease expert and ubiquitous presidential coronavirus advisor, in the Sunday Review with “We Owe Fauci Gratitude, Not Grief.” The online headline groveled even lower: “So Anthony Fauci Isn’t Perfect. He’s Closer Than Most of Us. -- We owe him gratitude, not grief." Bruni treated the professional…
